2016 Science at the stadium season kicks off at Penn State's Fan Fest

ECOGIG outreach staff took "Science at the Stadium" on the road to Penn State's Fan Fest on September 3rd, prior to Penn State's first home game of the 2016 football season. Visitors to the Ocean Discovery Zone explored the deepwater ecosystems of the Gulf of Mexico and learned about the importance of healthy oceans. They met several Penn State marine scientists (including ECOGIG priciple investigators Dr. Charles Fisher and Dr. Iliana Baums) and discovered the tools they use to conduct deep sea research in the Gulf.
